Alvin finally understood!
He was basically someone throwing a stone into a still lake...
Those politicians were the "stones." Once they got his assurance, they could sound out their colleagues during the meeting.
And the consequence of "alerting the enemy" would be that the real Hydra started moving.
The joint conference and Doom's induction ceremony would let Nick Fury pinpoint the targets.
Sokovia was Doom's territory, after all...
With his cooperation, plus the super software Nick Fury had...
